AkzoNobel a Menopause Friendly Employer

AkzoNobel  has received the Menopause Friendly Accreditation (MFA), the mark of excellence for menopause at work.

Starting out as a colleague-led initiative, the Menopause Awareness and Activity Programme began in 2021. This was quickly championed by senior leadership.

Key initiatives include:

  • A comprehensive Menopause Guidance Policy was launched in October 2022 in partnership with key HR stakeholders, which includes accommodations and adjustments available to colleagues, such as flexible working hours, access to private rest areas, and options for remote work.
  • Introduced several menopause awareness training sessions for colleagues and managers in November 2022 in collaboration with Henpicked, one of the UK’s largest, fastest growing communities for women over 40, run by Menopause Friendly UK.
  • In 2023, AkzoNobel introduced a lightweight uniform across its Dulux Decorator Centre stores in response to feedback from colleagues experiencing menopause who highlighted the need for more comfortable work attire.

Edward Elliott, HR Director UK&I and Nordics at AkzoNobel commented, “We are so proud to celebrate this achievement of officially becoming a Menopause Friendly Employer. This is a true testament to the strong commitment of our colleagues to building a more inclusive workplace. Ensuring those experiencing menopause feel safe in the workplace is vital, whilst also educating the wider team on how to best support those in their lives who are affected.
